"We rented this house for a Bachelorette Gathering. We had 6 ladies celebrating altogether. Typically, pics look better than the real thing, but in this case, the opposite was true! It was better than the photos. Such a perfect space! Lots of rooms and beds; enough bathrooms even. Everything was clean and perfectly made up. All utensil and utility drawers were well labeled and made everything really easy to find. Alexandra was very helpful with all of our questions and concerns with the hot tub,...

"We absolutely adored this property! The property and cabin were clean and stocked as promised. Location was perfect, literally feet from the water. Dock was large and sufficient to dock boat and support lots of beach play. The other cabin owners nearby were friendly and respectful. Couldn't have asked for better! We even said upon arrival that if we were to buy a cabin, this place would be exactly what we'd want, and we'd probably end up living in it year round!"
